Tennis ace Ana Ivanovic says split from beau affected her game
January 16th, 2011 - 2:53 pm ICT by ANIAdelaide, Jan 16 (ANI): Tennis ace Ana Ivanovic says her break-up from her longtime love, Australian golfer Adam Scott, affected her game.
The glamourous player says her on-court performance suffered after the breakup in the middle of last year.
During the slump, her ranking fell outside the world top 50, and she lost in the opening round of Wimbledon.
“It’s tough,” Adelaide Now quoted the 2008 French Open champion as saying.
“I think it’s better not to mix professional life and personal life - although it is hard. If you are happy in your private life and that will affect your tennis and that will help you actually. During this time I found that’s important to listen to yourself and be happy.
She added: “I mean everyone wants to be happy - people find happiness in different ways. While you want to pursue your career 100 per cent - I think it is very hard to give 100 per cent in something else. It’s important to find this balance and priorities change throughout life…” (ANI)
